“Mister Feng Heng.”

“Yes, Miss Qiao Qi, what’s the matter?”

“I heard that your distinguished mother wanted to drive away my chef with only two million?”

“What?” Feng Heng was confused.

“My chef is only worth two million? Okay, I’ll give you two million, and don’t bother her again. I’ll keep her!”

“Wait... What are you talking about?” What two million, what driving away? Besides, that’s my girl, not your chef!

“Ask your mother. I’ll send you the check, don’t come bother my chef.”

Ming Shu hung up the video call after finishing the sentence.

Feng Heng: “...” What did my mother do behind my back?!

Why did it reach that woman!

Just kill me!

Feng Heng didn’t come back to the meeting but went straight to Mother Feng. After learning what happened from Mother Feng, Feng Heng really didn’t know what expression he should wear to face his mother.

“Mom... Who I like is Ruan Xiaolian, her entire person.”

Mother Feng played well the role of an evil mother-in-law who despised the poor and curried favour with the rich. “You think she likes you? People like her only love your money!”

“She’s not that kind of person.”

“Hmph, I’ve seen a lot of such people, pretending to be more high-hearted than anyone else, but actually they are after your money. My son, I will never hurt you. You and her are not suitable.”

“Mother...”

“Feng Heng, I’m telling you, I will never allow Ruan Xiaolian to be with you. Between her and me, there’s only one you can choose!”

Feng Heng was a little helpless. “Mom, do you know that Qiao Qi called me just now?”

Mother Feng didn’t understand how this had to do with the Qiao family’s miss.

But if it were the Qiao family...

The Qiao family only had a daughter and later she would be the only heir of the family fortune...

“Qiao Qi said she would give me two million and told me to stay away from Ruan Xiaolian.”

“...What did you say?”

“Are you satisfied with that? You tried to drive her away with two million, but now she’s driving me away with two million.”

Feng Heng left as soon as he finished the sentence.

He had to go win his wife over.

Mother Feng didn’t react at all for a long time. What did this matter have anything to do with Qiao Qi?

...

Ming Shu took Ruan Xiaolian home. Cui Yuhui was preparing breakfast. She saw Ming Shu and Yu Jing go out together, but now Ming Shu come back with a girl...

“Little Qi...” This young girl looked a little familiar.

Isn’t she the girl from the party before?

Little Qi had a boyfriend now, how could she bring a young girl home... Wait, there seemed to be nothing wrong with bringing a girl home.

Cui Yuhui patted her own forehead. She was really frightened by her daughter before.

“Well, Sister Qi, I’ll go back first.” The woman who drove Ming Shu back didn’t know how to address Ming Shu, so she called her what Ruan Xiaolian called her and handed the car keys to Ming Shu readily.

She was just ordered to drive and didn’t expect to have heard a great show, which was quite different from those cliched stories.

Boss Yu’s wife was so domineering!

“Okay. You can drive the car back, Yu Jing will need it after work.”

“Yes, yes... Okay.”

While waiting for the woman to leave, Cui Yuhui took Ruan Xiaolian to sit in the living room. Seeing Ruan Xiaolian’s miserable face that looked like she hadn’t fallen asleep for a whole night, Cui Yuhui couldn’t help her mother’s love. “What’s going on?”

Ming Shu explained the matter to her mother briefly. Cui Yuhui held the turner and said angrily, “Times have changed, who would still pay attention to being matched for marriage? I even wish you had a poor boyfriend so that you could stand high above him.”

Ming Shu: “...”

That’s my birth mother.

“Cough, cough, well, Little Yu is good.” Cui Yuhui didn’t remember that she had a rich son-in-law who had just taken over the family company until after finishing the above sentence, so she changed the topic quickly. “What matters is that two people like each other; they can earn money together if they are poor. As long as two people work together, nothing can’t be overcome.”

Ming Shu: “...”

Ruan Xiaolian: “...”

Being matched for marriage had its points, because differences in status could really cause problems. Ming Shu didn’t say anything absolute.

But Ruan Xiaolian was her chef.

Of course she would help her.

Ming Shu asked Cui Yuhui to leave, then said to Ruan Xiaolian as if she was a weird uncle trying to carry off a loli, “Be good, I won’t let you suffer.”

Ruan Xiaolian, the loli: “...Sister Qi, I’m scared.”

Ming Shu smiled even more sincerely. “What are you scared of?”

Ruan Xiaolian: “You’ve been... so kind to me. I’m a little scared... Why, why are you so nice to me?”

“Because I like you.”

“...”

Kuangdang—

Ming Shu and Ruan Xiaolian looked up at the same time. Cui Yuhui was standing at the door of the kitchen, and there was no other expression on her face other than shock.

“Wait, Mom, listen to me.”

Cui Yuhui tried hard to control her emotions and not to let herself collapse. “Little Qi, were you and that Yu Jing just pretending and you brought him home just to fool me and your dad? The one you really like is her, right?”

Ming Shu: “...” I just like her cooking skills, it’s true! Can you not let your imagination run wild?

Ruan Xiaolian: “...” Did I do something wrong?

...

Although Ming Shu explained herself well enough to Cui Yuhui and Ruan Xiaolian, the way the two looked at her was still weird.

In order to prevent Cui Yuhui from imagining something strange, Ming Shu sent Ruan Xiaolian home.

Ming Shu was a person that kept her word. Right on that day, she ordered someone to send a two-million check to Feng Heng.

When he received the check, it was said that he stood frozen for a couple of seconds.

Who let your mother bully my chef!

You deserved it!

Ming Shu stayed in the bar and studied those pictures, one by one.

But they were all the victims’ belongings, and the police had seen them over and over.

Just as she was about to give up, her fingers suddenly paused and then zoomed in on the picture quickly. These...

Ming Shu checked which victim the things belonged to.

Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun’s things?

But why didn’t the Host remember anything about these in her memory?

It was a pair of ear studs. Qiao Yun couldn’t have bought them herself. Whatever she bought, she would also buy for the Host. Even if the color was different, it must be the same style.

So these ear studs could only have been given by other people.

But if the giver was their relative, the gifts would be also prepared in double.

Ming Shu went directly to the police station, asking to see her sister’s belongings.

Those things were evidences as well as relics, so Ming Shu used some of the family’s influence and finally got to see them.

Each thing was in an evidence bag. Ming Shu found the ear studs. With fine workmanship, they were inlaid with pink diamonds.

Pink diamonds were rare, but it was not strange for the Qiao family’s big miss to have such valuable jewelry. At that time, Father and Miss Qiao were too sad, and the ear studs were small, delicate objects, so probably they didn’t identify the belongings very clearly.

“These are not my sister’s things.” Ming Shu held the ear studs. “I never saw this pair of ear studs.”

The team leader in charge of this case was also beside her when she was allowed to be seeing the belongings.

“They were not your sister’s?” The team leader was confused. “Why didn’t you tell the police back then?”

“It was so chaotic at that time. The ear studs are so small, you showed them to us then took them away as evidence, how could we notice?”

The team leader: “...”

“Perhaps they were just gifts your sister received and she didn’t tell you?”

“Then why didn’t my sister tell me? Isn’t that suspicious?”

“...” The team leader gave a profound look to Ming Shu, then ordered through the phone, “Tell the other victims’ families to come identify the belongings one more time.”
